Chapitre 211: Chapter 211: Purifying Demon Lotus Flame
Hun Tiandi led the group into the courtyard. Hun Feng and Hun Yu kept their heads lowered. However, out of curiosity, they sneakily raised their heads to look at the people present. Not only was their father there, but there were also others.
They were curious about these other individuals.
Raising their heads, Hun Feng and Hun Yu's gazes landed on Gu Xun'er's figure and remained locked onto her.
"Isn't that little sister Xun'er?"
A tremor ran through Hun Feng and Hun Yu. They had thought that their father, Hun Tiandi, had already executed her.
But it turns out, she was still alive.
In this moment, for some reason, Hun Feng and Hun Yu felt excited. Their bodies trembled slightly.
At this moment, their youthful infatuation had returned.
Their maiden love had returned.
Gu Xun'er also felt Hun Feng and Hun Yu's gazes on her. She met their eyes and gave a wry smile.
"Isn't that the two silly sons of Hun Tiandi?"
In her mind, Gu Xun'er was mockingly commenting on them. She never thought that one day she would become their "stepmother."
How awkward!
She had no idea how to handle this situation.
"Xun'er..."
Hun Feng was excited to call out "Little sister Xun'er..." but before he could finish, Hun Tiandi slapped his head.
"Why are you shouting? Now this is your mother, call her 'mother,' understand?"
Boom!
The sound of Hun Tiandi's words crashed into Hun Feng and Hun Yu's minds like a lightning bolt. Their excited hearts and trembling bodies froze in that instant.
For them, time seemed to stand still.
It stopped flowing.
Their brains went blank!
After a while, Hun Feng, in a daze, stammered out a word, "Mother..."
...
When Hun Tiandi's words landed, Gu Xun'er's face turned red. She was just a little girl, after all.
In an instant, two grown-up sons had suddenly appeared in her life. She found it difficult to accept, especially when Hun Feng called her "mother..."
She felt even more embarrassed!
She wished there was a hole she could disappear into right now.
It was simply too embarrassing.
She didn't even know how to describe the complex emotions swirling within her at this moment.
Not only Gu Xun'er, but also Hun Feng and Hun Yu were unable to put their embarrassment into words at this moment.
Inside their hearts, Hun Feng and Hun Yu felt like there were tens of thousands of mythical beasts running rampant. They were torn between speaking up or keeping silent with a heartfelt "MMP" (an expression of frustration).
The women who had once captured their hearts...
Had now turned into their "stepmother"!
This situation...
Their feelings...
It was like stepping on dog shit.
They couldn't find words to describe their terrible mood at this moment.
Their thoughts were a mess...
Their father had once earnestly told them that women were like wolves and tigers, that beauty was nothing but a deadly poison.
Back then...
They believed their father's words wholeheartedly.
They worked hard to cultivate themselves.
Women, in their eyes, were nothing more than a fleeting illusion.
Just a passing cloud.
They couldn't be taken seriously!
And they shouldn't be taken seriously.
Taking them seriously would lead to defeat.
A miserable defeat.
They had never doubted their father's words. But today...
Seeing the woman who had once captured their hearts become their father's woman, their "stepmother," they finally understood.
They had been duped by their own father.
He encouraged them to give up.
And then...
He went after her himself.
They never expected...
Never in their wildest dreams...
That their father was this kind of person.
Today, they saw through him completely.
They saw him for what he truly was.
If...
Time could be reversed?
They wouldn't have believed their old man's nonsense.
But time couldn't be turned back.
They couldn't go back.
All they could do was apologize to their past loves in their hearts.
...
Hun Feng had called her "mother..."
Hun Yu, of course, had to do the same.
Hun Tiandi spoke, "Hun Yu, it's your turn."
"I..."
Hearing his father, Hun Yu snapped out of his daze. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Killing with words!
They hadn't understood what that meant before.
But...
In that moment...
Realization dawned upon them.
Hun Feng and Hun Yu finally understood.
What was "killing with words"?
This was it.
"Mother..."
In the end, driven by fear of their father, Hun Yu stepped forward, weakly calling out, "Mother..."
Honestly...
Hun Yu wasn't very willing.
But he had no choice.
...
After calling out, both Hun Feng and Hun Yu instinctively lowered their heads in unison. They felt embarrassed, with a tinge of regret. If they had known the result would be like this, they would never have come today.
If they hadn't come...
They wouldn't have run into this situation.
If they hadn't run into it...
They wouldn't be so awkward now.
So awkward that they wished they could end it all right there.
This kind of awkwardness?
Who understands it?
Does anyone get it?
The person they used to love turned into their father's woman, and now they had to address her as "mother." This... what can you even say?
Well, it's just awkward!
Awkward to a degree that words can't describe!
...
If they had known it would be like this...
They wouldn't have looked up. If they hadn't looked up, they wouldn't have faced this level of awkwardness. But unfortunately, they did look up.
...
The awkwardness eventually faded as they left.
As they walked out the gate...
From each other's eyes, Hun Feng and Hun Yu saw a feeling of utter hopelessness.
A feeling that words couldn't describe.
They swore.
Everything they had experienced today would be the most embarrassing thing in their lives. They wouldn't encounter anything more awkward than this.
They swore.
This kind of thing...
They wouldn't experience it again. They didn't want to experience it again. Once was enough to make it unforgettable for a lifetime.
...
At this moment, Gu Yuan spoke, "Your two sons seem to have something on their minds. They looked so awkward standing here. They're walking away so fast, like they're escaping for their lives."
"Awkward?"
Hun Tiandi looked at the departing figures of Hun Feng and Hun Yu, saying, "Really? Awkward for them? Well, that's normal, I guess!"
In the eyes of Hun Tiandi, Hun Feng and Hun Yu being awkward was perfectly normal.
If they weren't awkward, that would be abnormal.
After all, Hun Feng and Hun Yu had some minor feelings for Gu Xun'er at some point, but... it didn't progress much.
He had given them a lesson in psychology, completely suppressing whatever emotions they had.
Now...
The father who had taught them this lesson ended up snatching the woman they used to love. Could they not be awkward?
They hadn't reached the point of being so awkward that they'd commit suicide. In Hun Tiandi's view, they were already doing quite well.
Gu Yuan looked at Hun Tiandi and asked, "You seem to know something?"
Hun Tiandi didn't answer Gu Yuan's question and said, "Worried about whether my sons are awkward or not?"
"Little Zi, come here..."
Saying that, Hun Tiandi walked over to the cradle and picked up Hun Zi.
...
Time passed!
Many years went by.
Across the entire Dou Qi Continent, under the planning of Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan, unity was gradually achieved.
The resistant forces were naturally eliminated.
Only the obedient ones remained.
Hun Tiandi wanted to use the Dou Qi Continent as a starting point to conquer various realms, so having a bunch of obedient people was a necessity.
The disobedient ones?
He didn't need them!
In this world, there are Twenty-three types of Heavenly Flames.
Apart from the still-sealed Purifying Demon Lotus Flame and the mysterious first ranked Heavenly Flame, Hun Tiandi had successfully refined and possessed twenty-one types of Heavenly Flames.
Twenty-one types of Heavenly Flames were united!
To achieve this, Hun Tiandi used the Void Swallowing Flame as a medium to practice the Flame Mantra, suppressing the backlash of the twenty-one types of Heavenly Flames.
Otherwise, with twenty-one types of Heavenly Flames concentrated in one body, they would be enough to burn him, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak expert, to ashes!
With twenty-one types of Heavenly Flames united within him, Hun Tiandi's strength reached an unprecedented level. He was now able to touch the barrier of the Dou Di.
As long as he broke through the barrier of the Dou Di, he would be able to reach the Dou Di realm and become the first Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent in thousands of years.
...
Swish!
At Hun Tiandi's command, powerful individuals from the Soul Clan emerged from seclusion and gathered in the grand hall.
Inside the grand hall, Numerous Dou Shengs of the Soul Clan were present, numbering around a hundred.
Hun Tiandi gazed at the many powerful members of the Soul Clan in the hall and said, "The Purifying Demon Lotus Flame is about to break free from its seal."
"After I reclaim the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame, I will head to the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave to obtain the source of becoming an emperor!"
Hun Tiandi's voice was not loud.
However, everyone in the hall heard his words.
The powerful individuals within the hall were filled with fervor. For many years, ever since Hun Tiandi obtained all the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade pieces, they had been hoping that he would go to the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave sooner.
To obtain the source of becoming a Dou Di!
However...
Hun Tiandi had been dragging his feet, saying he was waiting... waiting...
And this waiting...
Many years had already passed.
Today…
Hun Tiandi had gathered them together, indicating that he was finally going to the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave. Hun Tiandi's ascension was imminent.
Hun Tiandi's ascension!
The entire Soul Clan would benefit from it. How could they not be excited? How could their blood not boil with fervor?
The excitement in their hearts couldn't be put into words.
...
At this moment, Hun Tu stepped forward and said, "Leader, I'm willing to go to the Fire Spirit Space on behalf of the clan to retrieve the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame."
Currently, Hun Tu had become one of the Soul Clan's Grand Elder as well since his strength had reached the mid-Eight-Star Dou Sheng level!
Within the Soul Clan, he was considered one of the top experts. Those who could surpass Hun Tu could be counted on one hand.
"I'm also willing to go!"
At this moment, Hun Sha also stepped forward.
...
Hun Tiandi stood up from his position and said, "No need, I will personally go to the Fire Spirit Space to retrieve the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame!"
"You all just wait for my good news within the Soul Clan. Once I return..."
"I will then head to the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Cave to obtain the source of becoming a Dou Di."
...
In the Fire Spirit Space, Hun Tiandi appeared.
He wasn't alone; Gu Yuan was also with him.
Since obtaining the High-Grade Mysterious Pill from the Pill Tower many years ago, Gu Yuan's strength had improved slightly.
At their level, the peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng, even a slight improvement was hard to come by. But this tiny improvement was enough to impact their overall combat power.
Although Gu Yuan's strength had slightly improved, he was still not a match for Hun Tiandi.
Hun Tiandi possessed twenty-one types of Heavenly Flames, giving him the strength to contend even against Dou Di experts.
Not to mention the Dou Sheng level, at which Hun Tiandi stood at the pinnacle.
He was close to Dou Di!
Even though Gu Yuan was also at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Sheng like him, there was still a significant gap between them.
...
The Purifying Demon Lotus Flame emerged.
It was a major event that shook the entire Dou Qi Continent. According to common sense, many experts should have come here.
To seek the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame.
But...
The surroundings of the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame space were devoid of any presence.
The entire area within a radius of ten thousand miles was charred and desolate, consumed by the flames emitted by the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame, turning it into a lifeless wasteland.
It had become a dead zone, devoid of any human presence.
The entire continent was aware that the Soul Hall was searching all over for Heavenly Flames, and the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame was at the top of the list. The Soul Hall would never give up on it.
Numerous forces across the continent were affiliated with the Soul Hall, and the Heavenly Flame the Soul Hall coveted was what the powerful experts of the Soul Clan were interested in.
Who would dare to come and snatch it?
A younger brother trying to snatch away his elder brother's possession?
That would surely be suicidal!
Therefore, The Purifying Demon Lotus Flame's appearance was a significant event.
But there was no one rushing to find it.
...
Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi entered the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame space. They effortlessly found the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame without any suspense.
The Purifying Demon Lotus Flame.
Its appearance was extraordinarily enchanting and otherworldly, with fair skin and a lotus-shaped flame mark on its forehead.
The Purifying Demon Lotus Flame clearly sensed their strength. Even though they hadn't made a move, they easily found it.
This gave it a sense of danger.
Both of them were incredibly strong.
They were not opponents it could contend with.
Especially Hun Tiandi.
From Hun Tiandi, it sensed the presence of various Heavenly Flames, including the aura of the Void Swallowing Flame.
This greatly astonished the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame!
The strength of the Void Swallowing Flame was even beyond its own.
Even it had been refined by someone.
Could it escape?
There was simply no escape!
...
The Purifying Demon Lotus Flame looked at Hun Tiandi and said, "I've sensed the auras of many Heavenly Flames from you."
"Among them is the aura of the Void Swallowing Flame."
Hun Tiandi didn't answer the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame's question. Instead, he asked, "Is that why you didn't choose to run away?"
A wicked smile curved up at the corner of the Purifying Demon Lotus Flame's mouth as it said, "Run away?"
"Only when there's a chance of survival can it be called running away. When there's not even a chance of survival, can it be called running away?"
"That's called a desperate struggle."
"I'm well aware of both of your strengths, especially yours. I have no capability to escape in front of you both."
"Since that's the case, why should I run? Continue a desperate struggle? Let you both enjoy the pleasure of chasing me?"
"As a Heavenly Flame, I've long been prepared to be refined. From the Tuo She Ancient Emperor to Jing Lian Yao Sheng, and now to the two of you."
"What about it?"
"Who among you two will refine me? Come on! Show me! I won't resist at all!"
Saying this, it paused.
It opened its arms, waiting for the arrival of either Hun Tiandi, Ge Yuan, or both of them.
